Best extending garden table

Updated: 22 October 2026

You want the best extending garden table, and these searches did not return a Which? test. Best only means something once you name the job: a bagged camping table, or a fixed-leg patio table, captured on 19 October 2026. Lengths are on the [extending garden table buying guide](/hub/garden-furniture/extendable-garden-table/sub/extendable-garden-table-buying-guide). The [extendable garden table comparison](/hub/garden-furniture/extendable-garden-table) holds the same three rows. A short patio is on [extending table for a small patio](/hub/garden-furniture/extendable-garden-table/sub/extendable-garden-table-small-garden), and opening the leaf is on [how to extend a garden table](/hub/garden-furniture/extendable-garden-table/sub/extendable-garden-table-how-to-extend).

Our top picks

On this page

There is no lab ranking of these three

A star average is not a strength test and it is not evidence of BS EN 581. BS EN 581-3:2026 covers mechanical safety of outdoor tables and excludes weathering, and none of these files shows a report to that standard. What remains is TIMBER RIDGE at £62.99, Outsunny at £165.99, and JUMMICO at £155.90. Our top pick, where one closed length and one open length agree, is the Outsunny, if you accept the missing-part reviews. Our best value pick for a boot or a caravan is the TIMBER RIDGE, the lowest price that still names a load and has more than a handful of UK texts. JUMMICO stays near £156, with conflicts you have to read.

Boot, caravan, or a one-off BBQ

TIMBER RIDGE TR 7014 is the table that folds, weighs 8.4 kg on the listing, and includes a carry bag in the bullets. The top is aluminium, the depth is 70 cm, and the bullets say the length runs from 94 cm to 130 cm. The extended-length row says 129 cm, and one UK review measured about 120 cm, so the gain is real and smaller than the longest bullet. The maximum weight recommendation is 100 kg. Skip it when you want a patio table at about 160 cm, or if the concertina would stay outside.

A patio table that closes to about 80 cm

Outsunny is the patio row with lengths that agree: 80 cm closed, 160 cm open, 80 cm wide, 75 cm high, one mechanical leaf, a plastic wood-effect top, a powder-coated aluminium frame, 21 kg, a 50 kg maximum, and not foldable. It is 4.7 from 45 reviews, and 29 of the texts in the file are from the UK. They also report missing parts: a base piece, a foot with no spare, and a loose roller that scratched the underside. Count the parts before you build. JUMMICO, at £155.90, has only five UK texts. A bullet says 81.5 cm opens to 163 cm and the size row says 80–160 cm. No maximum load is printed. Neither patio table states a parasol hole.

Who should skip all three

Skip the set when a parasol pole has to go through the top. No hole diameter is printed on these three listings, and a weatherproof sentence does not create one. Skip the set when you want teak under a specialist's own year-round line. Jati's Oxburgh is about £450 or £500 for the double-leaf version, with a pole up to 5 cm. That is a different shop, not a fourth rank. Skip the TIMBER RIDGE if the table must sit out all season. Skip the Outsunny if you cannot lift about 21 kg with a second person. Skip the JUMMICO if you need one length and a stated load before you pay.

Common questions

Which of the three is the patio table?
Outsunny is the patio table we would open first, because 80 cm and 160 cm agree, the load is 50 kg, and the UK review sample is 29 texts inside a 4.7 average from 45. It is £165.99, it does not fold, and UK buyers have reported missing parts. JUMMICO is the other fixed table, at £155.90, and its length, seating and weight rows do not agree. TIMBER RIDGE is a camping table with a bag, not a patio table you leave on the slabs.
Which extending table goes in a car boot?
TIMBER RIDGE, at £62.99, is the one with a carry bag in the bullets and an assembly row that says no bolt-up build. UK reviews describe legs that fold out, and the listing weight is 8.4 kg. The bullets run from 94 cm to 130 cm at 70 cm deep, with a 100 kg maximum. It is the best value here for that job. It is a poor boot choice if you needed the 160 cm patio length.
Is the 4.7 rating the winner on its own?
No. Outsunny's 4.7 from 45 is the highest star line in the set, and it is one reason it is our top pick for a consistent patio length. The same UK file includes missing parts and an owner who added a cover against sun. JUMMICO's 4.4 and TIMBER RIDGE's 4.5 are close enough that the job, the load and the conflicting measurements matter more than two tenths of a star. None of the ratings is a lab score.
Which one has a parasol hole?
None of the three states one. Outsunny, JUMMICO and TIMBER RIDGE all leave the parasol row blank in the files we used. Do not infer a hole from a wood-effect picture or from the word weatherproof. If a pole through the top is essential, this shortlist is the wrong basket. Jati's Oxburgh page states a pole up to 5 cm, at a specialist price from about £450, which is not an amazon.co.uk figure for these ASINs.
What is missing on the JUMMICO listing?
A single open length, a single seating figure, a single weight, and any maximum load. The bullet says 81.5 cm to 163 cm. The size row says 80–160 cm. Highlight seating says 4–6, capacity says 10, and unextended seating says 6. Weight is 16.5 kg or about 13.7 kg. Only five UK reviews sit behind the 4.4 from 42. The kilogram limit is not printed.
